Silence
Tried a new breakfast cereal this morning, and that was the only change in my usual routine - at least, it was the only change that I'd made today
After I excercised I went to the telephone to arrange to take someone I know out dancing.
Tried to speak........ silence - no voice at all,
tried to sing ........... still silence - not a croak, zilch!
gargled with salt and water ..... still. no. voice!
gargled with Listerine ... Nada! Not a sound!! Nothing!!!
(thinks) Am I being punished for something??
(Thinks) OK, take a couple of deep breaths. Don't freak out, right? Just calm down! Breathe ........ Right.....
(Thinks) Now don't take this personally - just try to open communications, get the news on the street, and find out just what's going through, here. (Wondering how much personal magic is still working ..... deep breaths..... Don't freak out unless you know the worst. * Checks by changing color of shirt - gives silent sigh of relief as that works.*)
*Remembers having thought headcold was a curse, takes down medical encyclopedia. Can't work out whether laryngitis is a virus or a mojo, or whether it's both.*
Heads off to Willy's Barfor a drink or several! to try to find out what's going on.
